Desktop
& Laptop operation:

A
laptop requires only a USB port and suitable SDR software,
some suggested apps can be found here.

Android
Smartphone operation:

All
your phone needs is the Android O/S and USB-OTG capability.
In other words, your Android phone needs to be able to
provide power via its Micro-USB port to the device. Most
contemporary Android phones will do this, it is most commonly
used to connect a USB thumb drive to the phone which is
a good way to be certain, or contact your phone supplier/manufacturer.

Smartphone
and Software are not included with this product.

Available
accesories include:

We
can supply wrap-around phone holders, On-The-Go USB cables
for smartphones and butterfly clip fittings to attach
the PARS BOX to a laptop.

The
PARS BOX frequency range is between 24MHz & 1.85GHz
(500Hz - 24MHz in Direct Sampling Mode) and it is ideal
for RF spectrum analysis. It includes a demodulator which
enables the user to 'listen in' on transmissions as far
ranging as air traffic control, radio security, and DAB.
Its convenience makes it a must have for busy RF engineers
looking for 'gaps' in the spectrum or as a low-cost platform
for amateur radio enthusists. We suggest some software platforms
on our SALES PAGE.
